What message does HK wait for after requesting to connect through COM port?

I plan to (eventually) build my own GCS. So far, I've created a simple COM port rerouter (for sharing a COM port across a network) for my GCS. I will have the APM on the drone (drone is connected to…Continue

"Andreas, we are not using the dronecell. In my opinion it is not capable of transmitting video of good resolution. We are using an onboard computer running Ubuntu. I understand that bandwidth is not an issue, because the size of the telemetry data…"

"The only real benefit of running data through a server is that the GCS could also be connected to the Internet via 3G. That solution would double the latency though. @ContraSpec: It would work, but the latency would be much higher than a more…"

Cameron Lattz replied to Søren Kuula's discussion So which message format does ArduPilot use??
"Looking at the output file, it looks like many if not all of the messages a reading a payload that is 1 less than it should be. 55 02 3F 01 01 2A D3 D9. This is another error. It either has no checksum or no payload."

"Soren, I apologize for the earlier post. You're right, it should have length 4. I don't know what to tell you about the 3. I have been doing the same thing as you (custom Java decoder), and have never seen the same problem."

"Ellis thinks that HK GCS might "discover" that the APM is connected by constantly listening for heartbeats, even if the Connect button has not yet been pressed. Is this true?"

I plan to (eventually) build my own GCS. So far, I've created a simple COM port rerouter (for sharing a COM port across a network) for my GCS. I will have the APM on the drone (drone is connected to PC by local wifi network) and I will have my GCS on the PC. I think I have my COM port rerouter working, but I can't really test it because HK GCS does not allow me to connect to the virtual com port (unless the APM is plugged into it, but the APM is plugged into the drone not the PC).Whenever HK…See More
